Mapping requires a deep appreciation
of the unknown and a willingness to draft an outline of what might later
prove to be true or not. Yet, at an even deeper level, mapping requires
a belief, first and foremost, that there is indeed something new to
discover. The mere fact that serious attention is paid helps pave the
way for further exploration, pointing through the use of symbol and
metaphor to subtle realms - new lands and water routes - that were once
only fleeting speculation. - Alan
